OF all the errors to which human nature is prone, all are attended with consequences se much to be dreaded as those resulting from secret vice. It entails on its votaries a host of in firmities of tha most alarming character, which the remedial art has ever to encounter. Debility both physical and mental are not its only diag nostics. Hypochondriasis in all its varied forms, with a long catalogue of maladies, haunt the unhappy victims of this delusive and self-destroy ing passion. Thanks, however, to the divine art of healing, the sufFering invalid may obtain a safe and permanent restoration of his health by having recourse to LINLEY'S ANTISEPTIC DROPS. The emaciated constitution, and debilitated frame, arising from these causes, can be re-instated...the relaxed fibre and untoned nerve can be revived—and thus the important blessings of health once more secured. The auses themselves being wholly abandoned, persons need not despair, however inveterate and pro t ra cted their maladies, the Proprietor bein g convinced, from lon g and 'patient perseverance in the use of remedies here advised, that his plan of treatment is both rational and scientific, founded upon sound pathological knowledge, and practical pharmaceutical investigation.

JIETTS'S PATENT BRANDY.—The ex traordinary patronage with which this favourite beverage has been honoured by the Nobility, the Medical Profession, and by all classes of the community, since its introduction in 1829, affords, of itself, sufficient evidence of its unequalled merits. To this triumphant success must be attributed the fact, that each succeeding year has witnessed the birth and death of some new Brandy Establishment ; called into life by jealousy of the success of the Patent Brandy, and doomed to certain failure as a necessary consequence ; being totally unable to produce an article capablo.of sustaining a competition with it. The only Establishment of J. T. Betts and Co. is the Distiller% No. 7, Smithfield-bars, leading to St. John-street, where *O. Patent Brandy may be had either pale or coloured, in quantiliga not less than two Gallons, at Eighteen Shillings per Imperial GO lon, for Cash on delivery.

EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—IN THE MATTER OF WILLIAM MULFORD JONES. This insolvent was before the Court twelve months ago, and on an application being made on the part of some of his cre ditors, time was afforded to them to procure information from Sydney, New South Wales, in support of the opposition. The circumstances were extraordinary. Ho had kept a public_ house at Sydney, and had acted as a general dealer. His debts, incurred in a short period, amounted to 1,6231., and his credits were stated at 4321. He suddenly quitted the island in April, 1837, bringing with him, it was alleged, a considerable sum of money, and came to England. His creditors were soon informed of his departure, and forwarded instructions to their agents in this country. The ship by which the instruc tions were sent arrived first ; but on the arrival of the William Bryant, in which the insolvent took his passage, it was ascer tained that he had landed at Dover. He was, however, soon r.fterwards discovered, and arrested in September, 1837, si nce which time he bad been in prison. His last hearing was on the 22d of December, when tha adjournment until to-day was ordered. He eras opposed to-day by several creditors residing at Sydney. It appeared from his evidence that in the year 1819 be was transported from this country, being a convicted felon, and in 1838 was restored to his liberty at Sydney. He married a dressmaker, and kept a grocer's shop, and afterwards a p u bli c _ house. He s a id his h ea lth was bad, and his reason for coming to England was to get assistance from his friends, and he in tended to return. He had, however, been arrested. He left 4001. of property at Sydney, which he had heard had been taken by some of his creditors. . Mr. DOWDESWELL contended that further time should be given, and that no reliance could be placed on the insolvent's evidence. He should be called upon to prove the truth of the schedule. The Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER, after consulting Mr. Commissioner Bowen, said the Court could not grant further time to Messrs. Lamb arid Parbury, but they thought the ap. plication of Mr. Woodroffo a reasonable one, and would grant a fortnight.—The case was ultimately adjourned. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. lIA T T 0 N- GARDEN. AFFLICTING CASE. —Yesterday a young man named Rickel, who has been several times in custody, was put to tho bar for final examination. Mr. Ricket, Of the John Bull public-horse, in Brewer street, Clerkenwell, stated the prisoner is his son, and he was under the painful necessity of calling upon the Magistrates to send him before a jury of his countrymen. Fur many years past he (the accused) had been a source of the deepest anxiety to him, and every means had been used to make him a respect able member of society. All their endeavours, however, to ac complish this had proved of no avail, for his determination was evidently a career of infamy, and no alternative was left but the present proceedings. Mr. BURRELL said it certainly was a melancholy sight to see a father prosecuting his son, and no one could help comnaiser sting with Mr. Ricket. Ricket said that the plunder had been going on for years, and his losses had been to a ruinous extent. The prisoner made no scruple in his thefts, everything, in fact, within his reach being in danger.—He was fully committed for trial. Mr. Milts, of No. 22, Leather-lane, was summoned by Stowell, the common-informer, for obstructing the footway in front of his house by having some bricks and mortar thereon. This, as well as several other informations fell to the ground, and were dismissed by the Magistrate. ' WORSHIP-STREET. Yesterday William Carter, a young man, was . placed at th e bar before Mr. G ROVE , c h arge d with having wilfully fired a loaded pistol at Mr. P. Smith. It appeared that the prisoner was placed in the possession of a house in Lee Bridge-road, about 300 yards from the Lee Bridge, which belonged to a gentleman of the name of Small, in whose service the prisoner is. On Thursday night, about ten o'clock, the complainant, who is clerk to M. Hardman, solicitor, Broad-street, City, went to the house for the purpose of serving a Marshalsea writ upon Mr. Small, who, he supposed, was there, but who bad left a fortnight ago. In the execution of his warrant he was opposed by the prisoner, who discharged a pistol at him. The prisoner stated that be wt.s placed there in possession by Mr. Small, whom he expected to return next week. The complainant, when he called, said that he was an old school fellow of his (prisoner's) master. Mr. GROVE remanded him till Wednesday next, when be would commit him for trial on the capital offence. Sergeant H unt , o f the N division, held a paper by which the prisoner was put in possession of the house, and which was signed by Mr. Small. MARLB 01?0 UGH- STREET. Thomas Morgan was fully committed for having embezzled various sums of money belonging to his employer, Mr. Taylor, i ronplate-worker, Noel-street. (FROBI THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.) TIMES.—It is understood among parties who have access to good information on the subject, that there are no indica tions of improvement in the public revenue, and that the pre.. sent quarter, so far as it has advanced, is as bad as the corre sponding quarter of 1837. The prespect of a recovery in that part of it which is yet to come is a good deal marred by the fall in the duty on wheat imported to Is. the quarter, for the second time since the last harvest, but a partial rally is still not impossible, and no general conclusion can therefore be safely conic to with respect to it. The only motive for ad verting to it at all is to seize the occasion to express the wish which all men of business feel, ant the public accounts may be presented in a better and clearer form in the next return than has hitherto been the case. No country in the world exhibits accounts which convey so little real information of the situation of the Government as ours do, neither would such accounts be tolerated for an instant, either in the transactions of any private merchant or banker, or any Joint-stock Company, allowing itself to be under obligation to furnish accounts at all. We are not san guine enough to expect that any such reform will be volun teered, but it may be safely affirmed that there would be no difficulty in the case, and that until it is effected the public %%ill put no sort of faith in these periodical returns from the Treasury. Of late years, even upon their own system, the information is much less comp!ete than it used to be. The Funds have been heavy all day, and Consols remain at the depressed quotations of yesterday-93i to 4 for the opening. Bank Stock was 202 to 203 ; India Stock, 261 to 2623- ; Exchequer Bills, 645. to 665. ; India Bonds, 625. to 645. prem. In the Foreign market little business was transacted, the dealers being principally occupied in preparations for the set tlement of the Acceunt on Monday. Be!gian securities have been lately on the decline, and the 5 per Cents. left off to day at 994 to par ; Dutch 24 per Cents. remain 54f to -4 ; the 5 per Cents., 1004 to 1 ; Spanish Actives, with the 111ay coupons, were 16 to 4 ; Portuguese 5 per Cents., 29 to ; the 3 per Ceats., 19 to I ; Brazilian 77 to 4,-; Mexican, to 23; Colombian 254 to 26. Great Western Railway shares were a little affected through the adjournment ef the meeting of the shareholders, which took place to-day, without any result : the Shares left off 94 to 101 premium; London and Birmingham, 76 to 8; South ampton New, 19 to 20 Manchester and Birmingham, 4to 1.; Extension line, h to premium; North Midland, 1 dis. to par ; Greenwich, 34 to 4 ; Br'ghton, 3;-i- to i; Blackwell, 24 to 4 dis. Frequent cautions have been given from time to time against too large a venture by our capitalists in securities of American origin, but it would appear from the sensitiveness shown by all concerned whenever any hint is given of their secret ope rations, that it has become more needful than ever to repeat that caution. It has never been affirmed that all were un sound, or equally to be shunned, but the best may suffer by the bad company into which they are brought, and, unless under the most careful and judicious guidance, the safe course is to avoid the whole of them. These circumstances of hazard must always be taken into the account, when embark ing in the securities of the United States, beyond the actual solvency of the state, or bank, or joint-stock company —that the debtor is at a great distance, compellable to good faith by no law whatever; that a war may make the means of annoy ance to this country eagerly sought after; and that dishonesty towards the foreign creditor is not, even in time of peace, ab solutely to be treated as impossible. Of the manner in which banks more especially have been managed in America more than enough has been said to put people on their guard. There exists in general no sort of control, no real responsibi lity, nothing which can protect the shareholder at a distance; and in the case of Biddle's bank, flourishing as it may be to outward appearances, and judging by the dividends and quo tations stone, there are these vital defects, that no accounts at stated intervals are rendered, and that the whole is under his uncontrolled management. But, having begun upon a Govern ment charter, though long since at an end, and continuing upon a state charter vcrysuspiciously obtained, to pay good dividends annually to his shareholders, the parties shut their eyes to the rest, and hope that nothing serious will happen. The public may, and probably do, buy of these things to some extent, but at the Stock-Exchange there is still much shyness respecting them, aed t.o quotation of them is yet made in the official list, with the exception of the - United States Banks shares and bills. Complaints are made of the distressed state of the linen manufacture in Belgium at present, the same as in France. With a viaw to remedy the evil great efforts arc making to improve the spinning of linen yarns, and to this end an asso ciation has been formed, supported by the small yearly sub scription cf one franc each member, and directed by central and provincial committees, the objects of which are to obtain and diffuse all the information which can be procured as to the best modes of working and the most improved machinery. The best practical workmen are to be engaged from other countries, and particularly from this, to superintend, and, by force of example, to make the native workmen more skilful. Five public companies have already been formed for the spinning of linen yarn by machinery, with capitals vary. in; fro, 5,000 ; 000f. to 2,000,000 f., and with machinery of 25,000 spindles moved by steam.engines of 120-horse power, to 10,000 spindles and 80-lio• s power. The steam-engines and machinery arc principally to be cf English construction, or manufactured in Belgium by English mechanics. In one of these enterprises, however, Mr. John Cockerill, one of the ingest, if not the largest, flax-spinners on big own account in Belgium, is a director, and the machinery is to be furnished from his extensive works at Seraing. The machinery of an other of the companies is to be made by Messrs. Fairburn, the well-known engineers of Leeds, who it seems have established an extensive machine manufactory at Mechlin. Great expec tations are formed of these different undertakings, as tending to revive and maintain the ancient superiority of Belgium in the manufacture of linens. No difficulty was experienced in the subscription of the necessary funds. It may be interesting to notice also the extraordinary efforts making in France to improve the manufacture of linens, and particularly in the Yarn department, where the old system of spinning by hand or by very rude machines, promises to be entirely superseded by the application of modern machinery. It is knoan that one of the rich and ingenious family of the Cockerills, so celebrated for their extensive ironworks and machine workshops, has been induced under favourable cir cumstances and privileges to construct large factories not far from Paris for the spinning of linen yarn, in which sort of un dertaking he has been followed since by various capitalists of the capital. This has contributed to stimulate the spirit and enterprise of the departments, where the linen has begun to attract greater public attention than other descriptions of manufacture. Although linen is one of the oldest manu factures of France, and was much cultivated in particu lar districts, it is only lately and since the new system of applying new and improved machinery on the same large scale as in cotton, that it has begun to branch out more extensively into other provinces. In Normandy, Bretagne, and Maine, the new process of spinning linen yarn by mac.hincry has already extended and taken root. It is stated that yarns are thus produced, and cloths made with them in considerable quantities, and make their appearance in country markets, where before the sorts and qualities were unknown. The thread of the yarn is spoken of as being strong and per fectly even, and the cloths wove aith it partake of the same qualities. From the mixture or cotton with linen, the warp being of one and the weft of the other material, or in other ways, according to processes long practised here, cloths of a good description have been obtained, and brought to such per fection, that it is said to be almost impossible to detect the existence in them of the cotton admixture. The appearance of the cloth is stated to be suparior to that of hempen cloths and linen not mixed. The partisans of the old method pre tended that the goods thus produced by the new mechanical processes were neither so firm nor durable as those made from yarn spun by hand, which it is admitted may probably be the case to a small extent ; but, in return, this disadvantage, whatever it may amount to, is felt to be m ore th an compensated in the price, which is much more moderate than of those pro duced in the old way. By the great mass of people, and espe cially those of moderate means, a fair share of durability in manufactured articles, with a low price, will always insure a preference over those more lasting, but also dearer. POST.—An uneasy feeling continues to be manifested by the more timid of our moneyed and commercial men in con sequence of the news received yesterday f rom B e l g i um, and this has appare n tly b een rather increased by some paragraphs contained its the Brussels correspondence of the Antwerp Journal du Commerce of the 13th instant, received this morn ing. It is stated that the warlike demonstrations observable in various parts of the kingdom had caused the greatest ex citement in the capital. An order had. it appears, been given to the regiment of Guides to form two new squadrons, while the four already organized were reported to have received or ders to march for the province of Limburg. It is added, that King Leopold contemplate(3. a visit to the French capital, with the view of obtaining from his father-in-law that co-operation which has been so resolutely denied him by the Mole Ministry. That an unpleasant sensation was beginning to prevail at Brus sels is sufficiently evident from the declining state of the public funds in that mar k et , b ot h the national securities and joint stock property of all kinds being more or less affected by the news and gossip of the day. II ER A LD.—Money continues in steady demand for corn. mercial purposes, though there is no absolute scarcity of it in the market, but it commands full 3 to 3i per cent. on the first rate paper. The presence of a great many United States commercial bills in this market, and the known large invest ments in the stocks of the United States, which pay from five to six per cent. per annum, that have daily absorbed l arge amounts of British capital for some time past, and which, as we have already stated, can only be employed at a much lower rate of interest or profit in . British securities, coupled with the present state of the Continental exchanges, appear to have been the primary causes of the present peculiar features of the Money Market here. In addition to these cir. cumstances, sufficient of themselves to throw a damp upon our Money Market, we have to refer to the state of affairs in Belgium, the Peninsula, and our Canadian possessions, whilst amongst our commercial interests we find there is a latent degree of apprehension that the late heavy speculations which have been carried on in cotton and grain have been rather overdone; yet, for the sake of the stability of com mercial credit; we trust the extent of these operations may have been mis-stated. CHRONICLE.—The uneasiness which was apparent yes terday at the Stock Exchange has not been removed to-day, but no further depression has occurred, and it appears attribu table to the state of the Money market rather than to political causes, as we shall in a day or two, perhaps, be enabled to state more circumstantially.
